Short Body for Mobile

Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Health Service (HKHS), incorporating Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital and six community health centres, has been providing quality health care since 1933, to a community stretching from the Hawkesbury River to Lindfield, east to St Ives and west to Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook and Epping.

New smoking bans in commercial outdoor dining venues came into effect on Monday 6 July. Under the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000, smoking is now banned in any seated outdoor dining area of a restaurant, café or licensed venue while food is being served and includes areas within four metres of a dining area including entrances and exits.

Smoking on the grounds of Hornsby Hospital is closer to being a thing of the past. On 23 March, authorised inspectors can issue Penalty Infringement Notices (PINS) of $300 to individuals who smoke
while on hospital grounds.
